...when you open up the file for your book and what you notice is that about 1,500 words are missing from the work that you've done over the past three days or so?

And you have been saving versions of your novel, but you realize that all of those saves are missing the 1,500 words?

And the only consolation you have is that still leaves you with a little over 76,000 words not deleted?

On top of all that, I believe I pulled something in my thigh missing a step down the stairs and have been hobbling around all night?

Yeah, it's been one of those days. Now I'm going to see if I can get my 500 words in today and keep it going. If you feel like telling me any similar horror stories that you've had, feel free to do so in the comments.

Cheers.
